More UFC news, rumors
- Rose Namajunas vs. Maycee Barber is reportedly in the works to headline UFC Fight Night in Denver on July 13. Combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani reported the main event fight on Monday. The bout will reportedly be contested at women's flyweight, Namajunas' third appearance at 125 pounds. The former women's strawweight champion bounced back from a failed flyweight debut against Manon Fiorot with a decision win against Amanda Ribas. Barber rides a six-fight winning streak ahead of arguably her biggest fight to date.
- Alex Perez vs. Tatsuro Taira will reportedly headline a UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on June 15. MMA Fighting corroborated a report by MMA reporter Marcel Dorff. Perez makes a six-week turnaround after knocking out Matheus Nicolau as a short-notice underdog. The revitalizing win snapped a three-fight losing streak for Perez. Japan's Taira is one of the most compelling contenders at flyweight. Taira is undefeated at 15-0 with three stoppages in five UFC appearances.
